I hope they stamp "Made in China" on it somewhere.

I want to like China, ancestral homeland and all that, but sheesh, why not have it done locally? Actually, are there any steel mills close to SF? Maybe transporting it by train or truck would be more expensive than ship?

Say, under the current "made in X" labelling laws, wouldn't the bridge still count as being made in the US, since the constituent parts were assembled there?

There's lots of labor involved. Presumably that's where China wins. But yeah, given that final assembly is here, it's probably "Made in USA".
